If that were the case, then enforcing the policy would not “run some risk of nuclear exchange”. I suggest everyone read the passage again. He’s advocating for bombing datacentres, even if they are in russia or china.
OK, I guess I was projecting how I would imagine such a scenario working, i.e. through the UN Security Council, thanks to a consensus among the big powers. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty seems to be the main precedent, except that the NNPT allows for the permanent members to keep their nuclear weapons for now, whereas an AGI Prevention Treaty would have to include a compact among the enforcing powers to not develop AGI themselves.
UN engagement with the topic of AI seems slender, and the idea that AI is a threat to the survival of the human race does not seem to be on their radar at all. Maybe the G-20′s weirdly named “supreme audit institution” is another place where the topic could first gain traction at the official inter-governmental level.
Yes, this is the main words: “be willing to destroy a rogue datacenter by airstrike.”
Such data center will likely be either in China or Russia. And there are several of them there. Strike on them will likely cause a nuclear war.
I think the scenario is that all the big powers agree to this, and agree to enforce it on everyone else.
